Microsoft announces Windows 365

Launching on 2nd August 2021, Windows 365 uses the power and security of the cloud to provide a virtual PC.
Windows 365 enables you to stream your own Windows desktop, apps, settings and content from the cloud to any device. Easily set up and scale PCs in the cloud to fit your needs.
Windows becomes a ‘hybrid’ operating system, that is both local (on a physical machine) and cloud (streaming from the cloud). Organisations can choose whether a physical PC, with its locally installed operating system, or a cloud PC, with its cloud-based operating system, is the best fit for a given user or role.
Benefits:
- Use any device to access a cloud PC, which can be as powerful as you need.
- Ideal for connecting users with personal machines to organisation approved cloud PCs, for security and performance.
- Pick up where you left off on any device, as your cloud PC stays available wherever you are and wherever you’re working from.
- Multiple configurations available across Business and Enterprise licenses with fixed monthly costs.
- Simple licensing with one user per cloud PC and just one license required for each.
- Connect from any device that has an HTML5 browser and an internet connection, even mobile devices.
